1. It takes too long to stop. Yeah it's a big heavy tank, so it makes sense that it takes some time to accelerate, but the slow stopping speed is just really annoying. My TRAINS stop faster than a tank. I run my tank into cliffs and rocks on purpose just to stop faster sometimes. It would be nice if...

I ran into a similar problem today. Fixed it thanks to IronCartographer's advice in Discord Take the control.lua file from Factorio/data/base/scenarios/freeplay and use it to replace the one in your save file What happened for me was that the control.lua file from a tutorial (chain train signals) so...

Attempted to clarify the subject line and OP a little bit

This has already been suggested in the following thread: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=44033 Show Local Time Option That seems to be one of many requests for a real-time clock in the game, which isn't what I'm suggesting I'm suggesting to show the game world's time of day

One of the fun things about the old demo, after completing the objectives, was to go find all the ship wreckage that was scattered around the map, and get the goodies inside. It would be cool if freeplay had neat things like that to find while exploring. Maybe some ship wreckage, partially-destroyed...

It would be nice to have a little clock in the UI somewhere that shows the current game world time, so that we could tell how much time we have before night or morning comes, like so I don't get into a fight against a biter nest right before it gets dark. Does our character not wear a watch?

There is no real time pressure. Events triger when you complete the objectives. So if you feels like being not ready to enter the next phase of the campaign, stall the last objective and get yourself and your base into a better position. If we were talking about a near-final mission in an actual ca...

Fairly new here. I played the demo a couple times and skimmed a couple of videos to get the gist of what the game was about and how to set up a starter base. Didn't do any freeplay before playing Introduction Main points: - I thought it was all fine up until the final objective with the escalating b...

I played it again, and while I'm not 100% sure, it SEEMS like it's just coded to send an infinite stream of them at you once your last research is almost done, until you finish it. Sort of like one of the early Starcraft campain scenarios where it's designed to have your base overrun at the same tim...

New player here, just got horribly overrun attempting this, map version 0.17.9-1, easy difficulty. I played the demo and watched a couple Nilaus videos so I did come in with a decent understanding of how to set up production, but still new. I never really thought it was obvious that the attacks woul...
